    How do Canadians sell us shows on fan to fan?  asking for a friend.
    Ha :) Looks like issues with TM asking for a Canadian checking account...so people can't list if they don't have one. This might only be related to the type of payment you used since there are tickets going up...but others not able to.  FYI.. if I manage to get a single GA for Toronto and/or Ottawa I will be selling some.
    @PJNB
    I think its as simple as I do not have a USD checking account so they will not let me sell tickets that are in USD and reverse for Americans that are trying to sell shows in Canada.
    Yep sounds about right

    This entire thing is a shit show and something is going on. Either Ticketmaster is so incompetent or they are trying to stick it to Pearl Jam fans so we get frustrated and not want this system. 
    Or there’s way more fans trying to get tickets than there are tickets available. 
    I am trying to sell my tickets. They were up for a second then disappeared never to be seen again. Cancelled my listing and have been in pending cancelled for over 12 hours now with no access to my tickets. 

    It's funny that Pearl Jam takes the time to write some senators a letter but they can't take 5 seconds to send someone on here to explain a few things and just say hey we've been in contact with Ticketmaster some glitches are going down hang tight they are working on it. 

    Radio silence unless of course you violate a board rule. 

    If your're going to change a system that's fine but own that shit from start to finish. Don't just toss a Molotov cocktail into the building, pat yourself on the back and walk away. 
    I had a problem yesterday with a listing....it said listed but they weren't on map. Chatted with TM rep and they fixed it. Try chatting with TM online instead of whining and stop expecting 10C or PJ to intervene in this process. It's happening through TM and that's that. Like it or not. 
    You mean the company who's only job on this planet is to sell tickets and they can't even get this right without me having to call or wait on a chat to make sure they do their job. 
    computer glitches happen and people fix it....I bet you are PERFECT at your job and NOTHING ever glitches or goes sideways?
    Your defending Ticketmaster? Ok im done. 
    Not defending...but geez..you act like they aren't allowed to have computer issues that they fix! You LOVE them when youget what you want I bet...hypocrite
    Maybe try paying attention to who your talking to and not name calling.
    WTF is your problem? Frustrated I'm sure, but since when is hypocrite name calling? ALL because I said TM had glitches and they fixed it? 
    Dude, get away from the computer for a while.

    Who got that Baltimore pair?

    Nope. I tried! 2nd pair that popped up this morning, they go immediately. Its super frustrating.
    When they popped up did the "sold out, check back later" page just change to the normal map page briefly?

    My problem is your attitude. I am not a fan of ticketmaster or your lashing out, which makes me neither a hypocrite, nor frustrated.

    The best option for the band to accommodate as many fans as possible is to play bigger venues (stadiums)

    But then all you hear is the complaints about how stadium shows suck and “Get back to the arenas!!!”
    Exactly. Then we hear "play more shows" but most of us would be trying for multiples, so the problem still exists.

    Ballparks are awesome. I'll die on this hill. :lol:

    So my wife has two Ottawa tix on the floor, so I'd like to buy 2 on the wings if they pop up. We are in the U.S. though, so you're saying that she won't be able to sell her Ottawa tix since we are in the U.S?
    Where on the floor? I have 2 on the side...maybe we could work a trade somehow.

    I think it had to do with my bank account information.

    It said someone else beat me to them (a few times, cuz I kept trying), then I refreshed and got the "sold out, check back later" message.

    This morning I've seen several pair of Baltimore tickets become available including a pair of GM tickets.   Had the GM in my queue but once I clicked pay order someone beat me to them.  

    Is the Fan Exchange open until the day of the concert?

    For the 500th time...

    Take 1/2 the arena and allocate the tickets via 10C members via the lotto.   Same rules as always.  Anyone caught scalping is banished for life.  All the "real" fans all have an equal chance at getting in for face value.

    Take the other 1/2 and sell it via TM sales where the buyers can sell and transfer to their hearts content.  The people that didn't win or are able to afford paying market prices have an outlet to do so.

    Done.  Problem solved.
